Problem

• Regression in 1.4.0 (1.4.0 regression: numeric fetch timeout option aborts the in-flight request on a fixed 4 s tick, and never acts as a deadline #39952): a numeric fetch({ timeout }) of 4000 ms or less aborts whatever request is in flight on a fixed 4 s tick, with TimeoutError. A 19 ms request dies against a 1000 ms budget. 1.3.14 is not affected.
• The cause is normalize_idle_timeout_seconds (src/http/lib.rs:304). Since fetch: let an explicit timeout extend the socket idle deadline #33647, a numeric timeout arms the socket idle timer. Values up to 4000 ms become one tick of uSockets' 4 s sweep ((seconds + 3) >> 2 in packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c:102). The sweep phase is unrelated to the request, so one tick fires 0 to 4 s after arming.

Fix

• normalize_idle_timeout_seconds now pads the armed value by one wheel period: 4 s on the short wheel, one minute on the long wheel (values above 240 s, armed in whole minutes).
• This makes the timer fire at the requested duration plus at most one period, never earlier. The old code could fire up to one period early on both wheels.
• fetch: let an explicit timeout extend the socket idle deadline #33647 stays intact: a large timeout still extends the idle deadline past the 5 minute default, and timeout: 0 or false still disables the timer.
• Verified: a new test in test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts keeps requests in flight across a full sweep period with timeout: 1000. Stock bun aborts three of them at t=4 s. Also ran fetch.tls.test.ts, fetch-http2-client.test.ts, bun-install-stalled-tls.test.ts, websocket-upgrade.test.ts and the issue repro (0 aborts in both arms).

Background

• The HTTP client arms an idle timer on every socket (default BUN_CONFIG_HTTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT = 300 s). When it fires, HTTPClient::on_timeout fails the request with TimeoutError.
• uSockets keeps two timer wheels: a short wheel swept every 4 s and a long wheel swept every minute. A timer armed for N ticks fires at the Nth sweep after arming, so the first tick can arrive almost at once.
• The padded 1 s override in two existing tests now fires at 4 to 8 s instead of 0 to 4 s. The TLS churn fixture and its test budget are adjusted for that window.

Notes

• The 4000/4100 threshold in the issue follows from the tick math: 4100 ms rounds to 5 s, which is 2 ticks, and per-request re-arming means the second tick is never reached by a short request.
• The long wheel had the same phase slop (up to one minute early for values above 240 s). The pad fixes both wheels, so the normalize function's "never fires earlier than asked" claim is now true.
• The pad moves the wheel boundary: values above 236 s now go to the long wheel, rounded up one minute past the requested value.
• normalize_idle_timeout_seconds callers: the per-request timeout (AsyncHTTP::init), the global default (HTTPThread::on_start), and the WebSocket handshake timeout (WebSocketUpgradeClient). All are HTTP-client side. Bun.serve timers are untouched.
• Full fetch.test.ts run: 324 pass, 40 fail. The 40 failures are container-environment failures (ConnectionRefused on localhost servers) and reproduce identically on main without this diff.

Walkthrough

The PR updates idle-timeout normalization with timer-wheel padding and revised long-wheel rounding. It adds numeric fetch timeout coverage and adjusts certificate-mismatch churn tests for delayed idle-timeout cleanup.

Changes

Idle timeout and fetch behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Idle-timeout normalization src/http/lib.rs	normalize_idle_timeout_seconds preserves zero as disabled, adds four-second short-wheel padding, and rounds long-wheel values upward within the 240-minute maximum.
Numeric fetch timeout regression test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts	Comments describe padded sweep timing. A regression test verifies staggered requests complete under a 1000 ms numeric timeout.
Certificate-mismatch churn timing test/js/web/fetch/fetch.tls.cert-mismatch-churn.fixture.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch.tls.test.ts	Stalled handshakes use a 10-second abort budget. Churn continues until settlement, and the test timeout is set to 30 seconds.

LGTM — the padding math checks out against LIBUS_TIMEOUT_GRANULARITY and the % 240 wraparound in us_socket_timeout/us_socket_long_timeout, and the regression test covers the reported failure mode. The inline nit about the stale "identical behaviour" clause in the IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS doc comment is worth a follow-up tweak but doesn't block.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes normalize_idle_timeout_seconds in src/http/lib.rs (11 lines of logic) to pad the armed uSockets timer value by one wheel period — 4s on the short wheel, 60s on the long wheel — so the sweep never fires earlier than the requested duration. It fixes regression #39952 where fetch({ timeout: N }) with N ≤ 4000ms could abort a 19ms request at the next 4s sweep tick. Three test files are touched: a new regression test in fetch.test.ts, and timing adjustments to two existing tests whose 1s idle-timeout override now fires at 4–8s instead of 0–4s.

Verification

I traced the new function against the uSockets constants: LIBUS_TIMEOUT_GRANULARITY = 4 (libusockets.h:100), the short-wheel tick math (seconds + 3) >> 2 (socket.c:102), the long-wheel % 240 minute wraparound (socket.c:118), and the > 240 split point in set_timeout (socket.rs:475). Spot-checked boundary values: raw=0→0, raw=1→5 (2 ticks, fires 4–8s), raw=236→240 (60 ticks, fires 236–240s), raw=237→300 (5 min long wheel, fires 240–300s), raw=300→360 (6 min, fires 300–360s), raw=238*60→239*60 (clamp holds under the wraparound). All satisfy "fires ≥ requested". The three callers (AsyncHTTP::init, HTTPThread::on_start, WebSocketUpgradeClient) are all HTTP-client-side as claimed; Bun.serve timers go through a separate path.

Security risks

None. This is timer-arithmetic only; no parsing, no allocation, no untrusted input beyond an already-bounded u64 seconds value.

Level of scrutiny

Medium — it changes timing behavior for every HTTP client request (default idle timeout now fires at 5–6 min instead of 4–5 min, WS handshake at 120–124s instead of 116–120s). But the change is strictly in the direction of correctness: before, the timer could fire up to one period early; now it fires at-or-after the configured value. That's the documented contract, and the PR body explains the trade-off.

Other factors

The regression test drives three concurrent workers across a full sweep window with timeout: 1000 and asserts none abort — a bounded-poll "X does not happen" test that fails on the unfixed build (per PR verification) and passes on the fixed build. The existing header-drip test's comment was updated to reflect the new 8–12s firing window against a 20s drip, which still holds. The TLS churn fixture's AbortSignal.timeout was raised from 1200ms to 10000ms to keep the on_timeout path reachable now that the padded 1s override fires at 4–8s; the test's own timeout was raised to 30s accordingly.

The one finding is a nit: the IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS doc comment still says "unchanged environments see identical behaviour" while the default 300s now normalizes to 360s. The newly-added padding sentence in the same comment is accurate; it's just the pre-existing clause next to it that's now slightly stale. Not blocking.

[claude]

LGTM — the padding math checks out against the uSockets constants, and both earlier rounds of feedback (stale doc comment, fixture overlap, named constants, staggered workers) have been addressed. The remaining CodeRabbit note about removing the 20s per-test timeout doesn't apply: the regression test must span a full 4s sweep period by design, so it's a genuine outlier that can't fit the 5s default.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a 1.4.0 regression (#39952) where a numeric fetch({ timeout }) ≤4000ms could abort in-flight requests on uSockets' 4s sweep tick regardless of how long the request had actually been idle. The fix is a small adjustment to normalize_idle_timeout_seconds in src/http/lib.rs: it now pads the armed value by one wheel period (4s short wheel, 60s long wheel) so the timer fires at requested + [0, period] instead of requested + [-period, 0]. Supporting changes: a new regression test in fetch.test.ts, a comment update in the adjacent header-deadline test, timing adjustments to the TLS cert-mismatch churn fixture (churn until stall jobs settle, 10s AbortSignal budget), and a 30s timeout on that fixture's driver test.

Verification

I verified the constants against the C source: LIBUS_TIMEOUT_GRANULARITY = 4 (libusockets.h:100), us_socket_timeout uses (seconds + 3) >> 2 mod 240 (socket.c:102), us_socket_long_timeout uses minutes % 240 (socket.c:118), and the Rust set_timeout wrapper routes > 240 to the long wheel via seconds / 60 (uws_sys/socket.rs:475). Walked through the boundary cases: raw=0 → 0 (disabled), raw=1 → 5, raw=236 → 240 (short wheel max), raw=237 → 300 (long wheel), raw=300 → 360, raw≥14280 → clamped to 239 min. All satisfy "never fires before the requested duration" and stay under the 240-minute wrap. The three callers (per-request AsyncHTTP::init, global HTTPThread::on_start, WebSocketUpgradeClient) all benefit from the same guarantee.

Security risks

None. This is a timing-padding adjustment to an idle-timeout normalizer; no untrusted input handling, auth, or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The HTTP client idle timer runs on every fetch, so a wrong constant here would affect all requests — but the change is a monotone padding (timers fire later, never earlier), which is strictly conservative. The default 5-minute idle timeout now fires at 5–6 min instead of 4–5 min; that's the intended semantics correction, not a regression.

Other factors

I've reviewed this PR twice already; both nits (stale doc-comment clause, fixture overlap on fast builds) were addressed in follow-up commits, as were CodeRabbit's constant-naming and worker-stagger suggestions. The one unaddressed CodeRabbit comment (remove the 20s per-test timeout) is not actionable: the regression test's whole point is to keep requests in flight across a full 4s sweep period plus phase slop, which cannot fit the 5s default. The fixture's new batch < 8 || !stallsSettled loop is bounded by the 10s AbortSignal on the stall jobs, so it terminates.

[robobun]

Follow-up: #41447. The churn fixture this PR added dials localhost with servers bound to 127.0.0.1 only; on macOS the ::1 leg can TCP self-connect and fail the fetch about one run in four. The fixture now listens dual-stack.
